Thank you very much Rob and Leonard. I´ll try those methods. Wouldn´t it be good that something as the rendermap could pick up HDRI illumination once and for all. It´s a shame 3DsMax does that at ease even with Vray on.... For the 2014 SI wish list, does it count some addons to Mental ray? (faster hair calculation, self shadowing and mb a la Modo?)
